PUBLIC HEARINGS & OTHER MATTERS 6a PUD-38. Lvnn Jansen/Lvnden Homes (SR 06:013) Application for: (1) rezoning of two existing parcels totaling approximately 4.19 acres from Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Agriculture (A) District to Planned Unit Development - Medium Density Residential (PUD-MDR) District; (2) PUD development plan approval for 11 buildable parcels and two remainder parcels ranging from 10,000 square feet to 13,000 square feet; and (3) Development Design Guidelines for a single- family detached residential development. The project site is located on a 4.3-acre parcel at 1635 and 1777 Rose Avenue. Consider a Negative Declaration prepared for the project. Jerry Iserson, Director of Planning and Community Development, presented the staff report. In response to an inquiry by Mr. Thorne, Mr. Iserson said the City has always required properties adjacent to the Arroyo Del Valle to submit geotechnical analyses to ensure the stability of the slope on the bank of the Arroyo. Zone 7 has its own standards that it would like to see implemented prior to agreeing to take over ownership of the Arroyos. Zone 7's basic standard has evolved so now Zone 7 requires a 21/2:1 slope from the bottom of the slope to the top of the bank. The applicant's geotechnical engineer believed that a 2:1 slope would be sufficient considering at the top of the bank is a street and not a habitable structure. Since Zone 7 has not committed to whether it wants to take over ownership over the portion of the Arroyo, the actual slope bank is subject to the City's determination. Staff is recommending the plans be amended to reflect the 21/2:1 slope bank so that it would correspond to Zone 7's standard in the event Zone 7 decides to take over ownership. The issue with Zone 7 has not been resolved and if Zone 7 chooses not to take over ownership, it would be the homeowners association for the Roselyn Lane Project to take responsibility for ownership and maintenance.
